The projects are checked out to the top level of llvm-project, and ‘git status’ would complain about them unless we add them to .gitignore.  We do not really want to change llorg’s .gitignore on our side, so may we propose changing llorg’s .gitignore to ignore all top-level files/directories that are not explicitly listed?  Something along the lines:

These seems like a good concept to me, but I'm not a git expert,
so I'm unsure of what potential problems (if any) this might cause.

I think this is worth submitting a review for.
